Upstate NY

The probability of strong to severe storms in the WCDO listening area is very likely for Tuesday, 7/1/14.

Dangerously high temperatures are expected late afternoon/early evening for the Finger Lakes
region and the greater Syracuse area Tuesday. These conditions will be a primary driving force and contribute to the severity of storms as they begin reach our area in the mid to late afternoon. Damaging winds and potential flooding are the primary threats. However, large hail, and even an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out. Be aware of rapidly changing weather conditions and stay tuned to FM 100.9 / AM 1490 WCDO for the latest updates. In the event of heavy localized rainfall, you can keep an eye on the water levels of our local rivers by visiting the river gages, located HERE at WCDORadio.com
